Question

Jorge bought x tickets to attend a football game and a baseball game. The expression 8x + 62 represents the total cost of the football game, and 9x + 34 represents the total cost of the baseball game. How much more did the football game cost if Jorge bought 7 tickets for each game.

Answer 1

21

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of ticket for each game

Given

The expression 8x + 62 represents the total cost of the football game

The total coat for the.game will be

8(7)+62

= 56+62

= 118

If 9x + 34 represents the total cost of the baseball game. The total coat will be;

9(7)+34

= 63+34

=97

To know how much more football game costs, we will take the difference in their cost.

Difference = 118-97

Difference= 21

Hence football game costs 21 more than baseball
